Lappity Lap

Had my pre-op appointment with Doc yesterday. It went well - the nurse really allayed some of my fears. Don't get me wrong, I am still nervous, especially when I think about what is going to be happening to me while I am asleep! But I just need to keep in mind two things:
  1. I will be asleep during all of these terrible things, and will therefore have NO CLUE they are happening while they are happening. 
  2. And this is really first - God is with me!
The best news of all is that I do NOT have to do bowel prep! The nurse thought it was so funny that I had completely prepared myself for it - I am still going to have a light diet today and tomorrow that consists of easy to digest foods though, just to make it easier on myself after surgery. Doc came in after the nurse and reassured me that he is a pro at this surgery - says he does it at least every other week and he has done hundreds of them. So that certainly is helping me to feel better about recovery. He also reiterated again that he was glad I had decided to do the surgery, and that he feels it is the best choice for me at this point. Sometime in May we will have a post-op appointment to review the surgery/photos and go over next steps.

I know I don't have many readers - but if you could please send up a prayer for me on Friday morning it would be lovely! Just that everything goes well, my recovery is easy and most importantly that Doc is able to safely remove anything that could be preventing pregnancy.

I will post again after surgery!

  1. Glad your pre-op appointment well and that your nurse and doctor were able to put your mind more at east. I'll be praying for you on Friday!
